Hide and Seek

I remember looking into the quail cage one morning and freaking out not knowing where our sixth quail had gone. Luckily  it only took me a few seconds to realize that our sixth quail (see photo above) was harmlessly hiding in a pile of branches that we had put in their cage a few days before. It is common quail nature to want to hide. Being under the branches keeps them cool plus they can easily camouflage  to protect themselves from predators.
